Two discussion questions
Discussion 1. Network Penetration Testing (SEC 435)
You will need to create your own original thread. The create
thread button is in the upper left corner once you click on the
link above.
"Session Hijacking" Select one of the following and discuss in
no less than three paragraphs, and have at least one response to
another student of at least one paragraph:
· Consider the “What if” case in Chapter 1 from the Book: Web
Applications and Data Servers and respond to one or more of
the questions asked.
· Research the web, and discuss any recent story concerning
session hijacking. Provide summary and discussion on what
might have been done to prevent such hijacking, or how such
hijacking can be recognized.
· Any current topic or article related to penetration techniques.
· The instructor insight.
While the minimum requirement is an original and single
response, one can get much more from the class by going
beyond minimums and engaging in conversation with your
professor or other students. I encourage one to go beyond the
minimum and those that can engage in four or more posts will
truly learn much more than what is just in the physical
classroom or text books.
I do give bonus points for extra work assuming quality, and
good writing.
17. I take the rubric seriously, so I grade 20 percent of the post on
style, format, and writing.
So please use good paragraphs, don’t write in mounds of text,
and bury ideas. Use salutations in both the subject line and the
message. Use proper citations for any sources one uses. Never
cut and paste from the web or other source and use it by itself
as an original post, or response. Use direct quotes properly tied
to your words, or if you want to share an article or other
material, do so as an additional post, with proper citation.
Do not repeat the question you are answering, in the subject line
or in the message; have a short title in the subject and line
and have a strong opening paragraph.

Discussion 1. Soc 450
Solution
to Global Issue Projecting the World Population
No one knows what the world’s population will be in the future,
but the United Nations gives three projections: high, medium,
and low. Explain how each of these projections would affect the
global community and provide specific examples. Review the
posts of your classmates and respond to at least one other
post. Bear in mind that we're interested in the GLOBAL, not
LOCAL dimensions of this problem.
Everyone please remember that, throughout this course, we are
looking at GLOBAL issues, not necessarily those dealing with a
18. local community, so you will need to keep that in mind in order
to earn credit for these posting.
